Denham’s office today announced he plan​n​ed to introduce an amendment to an appropriations bill to prevent those funds from being used for high speed rail in California.

The $68​ ​billion plan to build a bullet train linking Sacramento and San Francisco to Los Angeles and other points in Southern California would, in later phases, include a stop in Stockton.

“California’s high​-​speed rail project comes nowhere close to what voters supported with Prop 1A in 2008,” Denham said in a statement. “Congress cannot authorize spending any more money on a project without a future.”

Denham plans to introduce the amendment on Monday to the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill, H.R. 4745.

It’s not his first attempt to halt federal funding for the project. He introduced the same amendment to the appropriations bill in 2012 and introduced a separate bill earlier this year.
